Fujitsu has launched the world’s first e-reader that’s based on flexible electronic paper – capable to display color images on an 8 inch display. The refresh time depends on the display of colors:Â you can select between 64, 4.096 or 260.000 colors. With 64 colors, the batterie is supposed to last 40 hours.
The FLEPia will be available from April 2009 - only in Japan so far.

Cool, colorful ePaper! Seems like the year of the ePaper. Are they running Windows and IE6 on this? That’s one of the worst things you could do to a touchable device. :-)
Seems like they DID one of the worst things: the reader runs on Windows CE5.0 (Tech Details on Fujitsu Frontech)
